PICTURE MOUNT.

Application filed February 2, 1924. Serial No. 690,255.

It is the purpose of this invention to provide a simple and economical way of mounting camera prints, newspaper clippings or any other like article in an album or folder of the type generally employed for such purposes.

In carrying out the invention, I employ either a strip of suitable material adapted to be adhesively attached to the album, folder or any other support for the articles above mentioned, or the invention may reside in a single unit to be applied the same being provided with hinged tabs in the case of the strip or a hinged tab in the case of a unit which are also provided with an adhesive substance on either or both sides, so that the articles can be conveniently attached thereto in stepped or overlapped relation, either along the strip or along the page on which the units may be arranged.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detailed description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming part of this application, like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, and wherein:

Figure 1 is a view showing the manner of mounting pictures or the like in an album in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken on the line 22 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a view of one of the strips showing the manner of supporting two pic tures or the like on a single tab.

Figure 4 is a view showing the manner of using two of such strips for supporting a comparatively large print or picture by corresponding tabs of the respective strips.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 10 indicates a strip of any suitable material, such as paper, linen or the like, and which strip can vary in size without departing from the spirit of the invention. The strip is adapted to be coated on one side with an adhesive substance so that the said strip can be pasted in any suitable manner within an album or folder indicated at 11. The

strip 10 is cut along parallel lines equi-distantly spaced to provide a plurality of tabs 12, which are adapted to be folded or hinged along the lines 13 when their use is desired, so that any tab can be arranged at an angle to the strip proper to permit the picture, newspaper clipping, or in fact any small flat article generally mounted in a folder or album to be attached to the tab. This of course is accomplished by simple moistening the adhesive side of the tab and pasting the article thereto. If desired each tab can be coated on both sides with an adhesive substance, so that each tab can be used to support two of said articles as shown in Figure 3. It will be further noted upon inspectionof Figures 1 and 2 that the size of the plcture or print so attached to the tabs is not of any particular importance, and that the pictures so mounted are conveniently an ranged within the album or folder in overlapped relation, so that the pictures can be turned over for inspection similar to the pages of a book. However, if the picture is unduly large, or of a size too great to be properly supported by a tab on a single strip, two of said strips can be arranged as shown in Figure 4, and the one picture secured to the corresponding tabs of the re spective strips as clearly illustrated. The invention is very simple in construction and provides a very easy and convenient method of mounting pictures or the like in an album or folder.

Thus it will be seen that I have provided a practical and efficient device for the purpose set forth; and that the same may be made as shown in the strip form, possibly a practical method of manufacture, but at the same time the invention may be clothed in single units which it may be desirable to manufacture for certain uses.

The design also of the strip, or the unit, and the tabs associated therewith may be plain, rounded at the corners, or may be otherwise artistically defined.

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described, and that such changes may be resorted to When desired as fall Within the scope of What is claimed.

Having thus described the invention, I claim: 1

A picture mount comprising a single strip or" material coated with an adhesive substance, said strip being out along spaced parallel lines transversely thereof to provide a plurality of hinged tabs adapted to be attached to a picture, said tabs normally lying in a plane With the strip and adapted to be moved along a hinged line at the point of connection of the tab with said strip.
